Don't do it. Skin is beautiful, don't ruin it with scars just because your life doesn't seem as beautiful.
I actually relapsed recently after 4 months, worst feeling ever..
I know that there's still a part of you that doesn't want to do it. So hold onto that part of you, no matter how small it is. And go distract yourself; do something to get rid of the urges..You can:
- Punch pillows
- Smash bottles safely
- Throw saucepans safely
- Do vigorous exercise
- Write your feelings down on a piece of paper..and then afterwards you can rip the paper up, if you want
- Go for a walk
- Phone a friend or talk to someone
- Tell someone how you feel, open up to someone.

right well what happened to You was extremely traumatic

when this happened to you you may have though suicide was a way out of all this pain
but its not you survived and you are stronger then ever before

i think maybe you ought to go and have some more counselling/therapy to try deal with all these negative thoughts that still plague you

dont let what some nasty piece of work /his actions deter you from enjoying your life

you are better then that

best wishes

When you get the urge, go to your family for support. They can really help you get through your tough times, but you have to reach out for help first.

DONT DO IT! It will become repeat and you will hart your sef bad and get infection! DON'T DO IT! I would cut some wood not yourself!

No. please. think about your family and friends? and how coward would you be if you did this?

dont be so selfish think of the other people in your life your not just harming yourself

what terrible experiences for you well done for moving on (most people couldn't of) but not surprisingly you are still scared at times .would it maybe help to get a little more counselling just to help you along a little maybe your family could find alittle extra time just to support you whilst you are on your own or would getting a dog if you can i know it probably sounds a little silly but they are great companions and do make you feel a bit safer.I hope you find a way to overcome this just a bit more ,good luck stay strong think how far you have come already.

its not silly you have just had a really hard life & thats nothing to feel embarrassed about!
sorry you had to go through that but it will get better if you really want it to altho it will take time!
instead of concealing try proper therapy, its what you need.
just telling someone can only help a little, what you need is for someone to help you work through your problems by talking with you & helping you understand it to change it, so you can grow & create a better future for yourself.

its not too late there are people who can & will help, just dont be afraid to ask for it:)

good luck
